"Bang bang bang!" The dense gunfire grew closer and closer, like the urgent drumbeats of death, pounding on Shen Xiaochuan's heart.
He crouched low, his steps as light as a ghost, cautiously approaching the direction from which the gunshots were coming.
Through the dense foliage, he finally saw what was happening before him—two groups of people were engaged in a fierce battle.
One group of people were dressed in neat military uniforms, looking dashing and clearly well-trained soldiers.
The other group was dressed in all sorts of strange and shady clothes, and their sleazy appearance made them obviously criminals.
Shen Xiaochuan took a deep breath and quietly continued moving forward.
He moved through the forest like a ghost, the fallen leaves and branches beneath his feet making no sound at all, so that no one at the scene noticed his presence.
Soon, he arrived at the hideout of a criminal.
The criminal was focused intently on the front, completely unaware that someone was quietly approaching from behind.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Xiaochuan suddenly stretched out his right hand and delivered a sharp chop to the back of the other man's neck.
Before the criminal could even utter a sound, his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.
Shen Xiaochuan reacted quickly, catching the body that was about to fall and gently laying it flat on the ground.
Then, he quickly picked up the gun that had fallen to the ground, held it in his hand, and the whole action was done in one smooth and effortless motion.
After completing this series of operations, Shen Xiaochuan repeated the same method, using his familiarity with the surrounding terrain to cleverly outmaneuver the other criminals from behind.
He was as agile as a cheetah and his moves were ruthless and decisive.
In just a short while, he had quietly taken care of three or four criminals.
However, at that moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
Both sides, who had been engaged in fierce fighting, seemed to realize that something was wrong. Suddenly, the gunfire decreased, leaving only a few sporadic shots.
Shen Xiaochuan inwardly cried out in alarm, knowing that his actions had likely alerted the enemy. He immediately found a secluded corner to hide, daring not to make any further rash moves.
Time passed by, and all around was deathly silent, with only the occasional sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves.
Not long after, the sparse gunfire broke the silence once again.
Shen Xiaochuan gripped the gun tightly in his hand, his eyes fixed on the commotion outside.
He would seize any opportunity without hesitation.
And so, for the next period of time, he remained hidden in the shadows, silently taking down his enemies one by one.
When only one enemy remained on the field, the guy nicknamed "Blackie" finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
He looked around in terror, but could not find the mysterious figure that had ambushed them.
Finally, with nowhere else to turn, "Blackie" reluctantly raised his hands in surrender and kicked the gun away.
"My friend who has been hiding in the shadows, I, Blackie, have utterly surrendered today! Could you please show yourself so I can see your face? That way, I, a dying man, can die knowing the truth!"
Blackie's cold and vicious gaze swept over every corner of the surroundings with the alertness of a venomous snake.
Just then, the soldiers who had been hiding in the shadows filed out one after another.
Armed with guns, they moved in unison, their steps steady and powerful, closing in on Blackie step by step.
As they drew closer, Blackie's face grew increasingly pale, but he still forced himself to remain calm, staring intently at the soldiers who were gradually closing in.
Finally, when the soldiers arrived in front of Blackie, one of them quickly made a move, and a pair of cold handcuffs snapped onto Blackie's wrists.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere eased considerably.
Meanwhile, several other soldiers headed toward the hideouts of the criminals.
They cautiously approached the men who were still unconscious, then skillfully handcuffed each of them and confiscated all the firearms they were carrying.
The entire process was carried out in an orderly manner, demonstrating the high level of professionalism and well-trained operational capabilities of these soldiers.
After everyone was captured, the leading officer ordered his men to escort Blackie and his group down the mountain.
“Friend, all those people have been taken away. Could you please show yourself?” Leng Feng asked politely in a loud voice.
Shen Xiaochuan slowly emerged from the darkness.
Leng Feng turned his sharp eyes and looked over. He was stunned when he saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
